Zookeeper Tales: Star crossed lovers

elionwyrMy beloved chinchilla, Bella, proved to be a very fertile rodent. I’m not proud to admit that she had 4 to 5 litters of babies, back to back, before I finally – reluctantly – separated her from Gomez, the male chin who loved her long time. Over and over.

irisl adopted one of Bella’s first offspring, named him Scooter, and thought the little fella was a girl. In vain, I tried to change her opinion.
Eventually, Scooter did just fine convincing her of his true gender all by himself.
*ring*
“Hello?”
“Ok. Scooter’s a boy. And I need to get him fixed.”
“Why’s that?”
“He keeps trying to f*** my cat.”
Yes indeedy, Scooter was a Philly boy, afeared of nothing and in mad passionate love with a tiny fluffy Siamese kitty named Rhiannon.
Rhiannon had been raised around chinchillas, to the point where I’m not entirely sure she understood she was not, in fact, a rodent from South America. As a kitten, she would sit in Tash’s dust bath looking vaguely confused.
“Do I roll in this, or do I pee?”
“AAAAAAAAAUGH NEITHER JUST GET OUT OF THERE!”
Now an adult, Rhiannon had gotten past her childhood identity issues, only to exchange them for a set of sexuality issues. I’m not sure there’s enough therapy in the world for having a relatively small prey animal attempt to make a predator his bi – er, his girlfriend.
But man, I wish I had that, too, on video.

Given two vertical flat surfaces no more than a couple feet apart, they could chimney up to (say) the top of a desk and thence on to further adventures on the other side of the room faster than a human can take a couple steps. Which, given how fragile they are, was probably a good thing.
